ANALYSIS — Donald Trump on Friday said he does not enjoy running for president and criticized state and federal prosecutors for not offering him plea deals, capping a rough seven days for the Republican presidential nominee.
The former president was nearly 90 minutes late to a press appearance at his Los Angeles-area golf club. Once he arrived, he declared himself the “border president,” saying of that issue: “Probably got elected on that in 2016. … I hope you will call me ‘the border president’ again.”
Some Republican political strategists and pollsters have noted Trump often is more subdued at his once-raucous rallies and other public events. He offered a potential clue with California’s South Bay behind him.
